ODIs Against Australia Good Chance For Brook To Gain International Leadership Experience: Topley
T20 World Cup: England’s upcoming five-match ODI series against Australia will see a new leader for the hosts in young batter Harry Brook. He gets the top job after regular skipper Jos Buttler was ruled out due to a calf injury he sustained in July. Brook had captained England in the 2018 Under-19 World Cup and recently led Northern Superchargers in The Hundred this year, where the team won five out of six matches under him.
With England bringing in fresh faces like Jacob Bethell, Jamie Smith, Jordan Cox and Jordan Turner, it’s a clear indication of the side aiming to build teams for the 2025 Champions Trophy and 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup.
Reece Topley, England’s tall left-arm fast-bowler, spoke exclusively to IANS in a chat facilitated by Sony Sports Network, on Brook’s appointment as the captain for the upcoming ODI series, youngsters coming into the squad, the challenge from Australia and more. Excerpts:
